Company mission
To empower intelligent agents to store, think, communicate, and act.
Role
Who you are
- If you've shipped cloud infrastructure products and want to work at the intersection of storage, AI, and distributed systems, this is the role
- 5+ years in product management for cloud infrastructure, storage, or AI platforms
- Deep understanding of at least one hyperscaler (AWS, GCP, Azure, or OCI) at the infrastructure level
- Experience shipping cloud-native products (SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS)
- Comfort with distributed systems concepts: object storage, file systems, Kubernetes, NVMe-oF, erasure coding
- Strong customer empathy; you've done discovery calls and translated pain into product
- Ability to context-switch between strategic (12-month roadmap) and tactical (this sprint's blockers)
- Excellent written communication; you can write a clear 1-pager, a compelling deck, and a sharp Slack message
Desirable
- Experience at a hyperscaler (Microsoft, Google, AWS) or infrastructure startup
- Background in storage, HPC, or AI/ML infrastructure
- Familiarity with neocloud/GPU cloud providers (CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe)
- Experience with enterprise sales motions and partner co-sell programs
- You've built something from zero (product, team, or company)
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Cloud Product Manager to join our growing Cloud PM team
- You'll own the product strategy and execution for VAST's cloud-native offerings across hyperscaler and neocloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, CoreWeave, Lambda, and more).This isn't a "write PRDs and hand them off" role
- You'll be embedded with engineering, working directly with cloud partners and customers, and shaping the product from architecture to GTM
- Own product strategy for VAST's cloud platform across one or more hyperscaler/neocloud partnerships
- Define requirements, prioritize the roadmap, and ship cloud native features (marketplace integrations, SaaS offerings)
- Work directly with partner engineering teams at Microsoft, Google, AWS, and AI/neoclouds
- Translate customer and field feedback into product direction; conduct customer discovery calls
- Build and own TCO models, competitive positioning, and cloud pricing strategy
- Collaborate with sales engineering on POC programs and cloud enablement
- Present at industry events and produce thought leadership content
Our take
VAST Data is building what you might call the plumbing for the AI era - a purpose-built data platform that unifies storage, compute, and data services in a single, scalable system. With its disaggregated, shared-everything (DASE) architecture, it allows companies to scale their storage independently from compute, meaning AI workloads can grow without behind held back by infrastructure bottlenecks. And their platform delivers flash-speed performance, multi-protocol access, and enterprsie-grade reliability, all while keeping costs reasonable.
This architecture is especially relevant now and the company has recently partnered with GMI CLoud as a key data infrastructure provider for GMI's ambitious new "AI factory" in Taiwan. The data centre is expected to house 7,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUS and will lean on VAST's exabyte-scale storage to handle data for model training, inference, and real-time processing.
On top of this, VAST has secured some major partnerships and deals that really position it strongly for the future of AI infrastructure. In November 2025, it struck a $1.17B agreement with CoreWeave, making VASt the primary data foundation for their GPU cloud. It also expanded its collaboration with Google CLoud to offer its AI Operating System as a fully managed service, allowsing global data access across on-prem and cloud environments using VAST DataSpace. These moves suggest VAST isn't just keeping up with AI demand but shaping the infrastructure that will power the next generation of large-scale, distributed intelligent systems.
